Ever since I upgraded to Tiger, my Fast USer Switching takes a long long time, with the SBoD showing constantly. Sometimes, switching takes more than a minute, on average around 30-40 seconds.

I did Archive Install over OS X 10.3.9, so I don't know if that broke anything.

Anyone had this happening ? Any fix out there ?
I'm not really in the mood for a complete re-install...

I have noticed it a couple of times. When it occurred, I had 3GB of swap files, and the machine had been up for a week. I have 1GB of RAM, and the machine never sleeps.

ACSA 10.4/10.3, ACTC 10.3, ACHDS 10.3

It's about the same speed using winswitch. I have it on my PB17 (1.5GB of ram) and my mini (1GB or ram),

Hm, I have only 512 MB, but I'm not using any RAM intensive apps, and I don't have loads of apps open at the same time. Usually, I don't have anything swapped into VRAM.

What bothers me is that it worked flawlessly under 10.3.9. Same apps, same usage, same Mac (mini 1.42 GHz), and FUS took only like 5 seconds.... WTF is it broken in 10.4 ?
